The Good, Bad, & Ugly VS Seahawks + Poll

Quick summary: First things first it was a great team win extending home opening winning streak to 11 games. How great will this team become once they fix Special Teams coverage and Rushing defense still remains a mystery. Special Teams & the Run Defense needs to be solved for this team to be successful and make the playoffs this year. Three Rookies stood out Vaughn, Cox, and Thomas. [Just my opinion]

Finally, for the first time since Moreno was drafted I think he’s finally starting to understand the running scheme. Maybe trading for Maroney has motivated Moreno and he displayed more straight ahead power running. It was obvious to me he was running harder and under more control especially on the screen pass for 45 yards.

Heading into the toughest part of the schedule for the season Broncos will need to play flawless football and hopefully yesterday’s Win will build the CONFIDENCE, CAMARADERIE, CHEMISTRY, and MOMENTUM needed to defeat our next home opponent the Colts.

Chemistry and Momentum can be a great equalizer no matter who the opponent might be. I anticipate all the negatives coming from our friends the media experts… What will they write???

The Good:

1. Champ Bailey INT inside the Red Zone

2. Cassius Vaughn rookie recovers muff catch at 13 yard line, after 58 yd Punt by Colquitt

3. Orton to Royal TD 13 yards 7 to 0 lead

4. Orton to Royal 34 yds to 1yd line on 3rd and 5 huge play to start 2nd qtr could have been TD

5. Buckhalter rushing 1 yd TD for 14 to 0 lead

6. Brian Dawkins INT inside the Red Zone

7. 3:19 Demaryius Thomas accounts for 62 yds on first 4 NFL receptions [18, 20, 9, 9, +15 penalty]

8. Matt Prater 20 yd FG

9. Britton Colquitt punts 58 & 63 yds

10. Moreno’s screen pass for 45 yds & 1st down

11. Orton to David Graham for 10 yds on 3rd and 5 yd to 1 yd line.

12. Moreno 1 yd TD DRIVE

13. Orton to Demariyus Thomas first TD 21 yds on his 8th reception to start his career

14. Parrish Cox rookie 1st career INT

15. 13 of 16 third down conversion and 14 of 20 final results is still a team record.

The Bad:

1. Delay of game penalty in the Red Zone.

2. 1st and goal at 7 yd line settling for 20 yd FG.

3. Still allowing too many big plays.

The Ugly:

1. Special Teams pathetic enough said!

I disagree

Knowshon = Good.

Chris Johnson ran for even less yards yesterday, but that doesn’t mean he is bad. It means there were no holes. I saw very few holes for the running game yesterday. I would have loved for Moreno to have run for 180 yards yesterday, but I don’t know what he could have done differently. When he hit the pile, since there were no holes, he usually moved it forward.

Adelante, Broncos!

Chris Johnson has proved he is an elite RB, Moreno hasn't proved he deserves to start

In all honesty, if LenDale had not gone down, I would not have been surprised if LenDale would of been the starting RB with Moreno as a change of pace back.

We agree to disagree...

Listen to McD’s comment from last week’s game were our RB’s left yards on the field because basically they missed the holes. The biggest problem Moreno has to over come is moving forward and not side ways or over faking, which he didn’t do against Seahawks. Not even close to being in the same class as Chris Johnson – not yet anyway.

I agree

I also thought that Beadles did a good job in pass blocking. Everybody did a good job of pass blocking.

I wonder, with Kuper and Harris out, did the O-line line close their splints for this game? If they lined up closer to one another than normal, that would help explain why the pass protection was better than you would expect, and the holes in the running game were smaller than you would expect.

Adelante, Broncos!

I don't understand your math on Thomas

My projections Denver 11-5, San Diego 10-6, Oakland 9-7, Kansas City 7-9

Never was very good at math in school should have been; 4 receptions for 56 yards and I tacked on the 15 yard penalty accounting for 71 yards. hehe

I was typing while watching the game and didn’t proof read it.

The play that took the wind out of their sails...

Was a missed opportunity by Seattle to score on the first drive when the TD was called back on a holding call…The next play was a pass in Champs direction which proved to be a vital mistake and shifted the momentum over to the Broncos…Even after the Broncos defense let them drive down the field from our 20 to their 3?

by bfree2bronc on Sep 20, 2010 5:30 PM MDT reply actions  

You're right. That penalty... 2 in a row, actually....

was the turning point. Champ’s INT sealed the deal.

I think it was the beginning of the end for the hawks

But, I think the one that hurt them most and stopped their momentum was Brian Dawkins INT at the 7-yd line, and the debut of D. Thomas before half-time to increase the score to 17-0 just my opinion.
